Catalog #:	BMS 001CD

2006 domestic US pressing (previously issued by Night & Day in France and Finders Keepers in the UK). "Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson is an inimitable, 45-minute concept LP handcrafted by a bass-driven psychedelic rock group and a heaven-sent 1001 piece orchestral and choral symphony. The album left hip-hop producers alongside progressive rock aficionados crying out for more and more for years to come. This LP was in a league of its very own... or was it? The seldom-sung musical arranger for Melody Nelson, Jean-Claude Vannier, has become one of the most enigmatic names in French-funk; lorded by many as the 'French David Axelrod.' Vannier's name is the lesser-spotted, tell-tale seal of sample-friendly quality when it comes to crate-digging 'en Francais.' And the answers to all the floating mysteries, myths and rumors surrounding the man lay flat between the anonymous gatefold sleeve of an undiscovered conceptual album bizarrely entitled L'Enfant Assassin des Mouches. So here we have it. For collectors and enthusiasts alike looking for that special something, this release contains the extra-special EVERYTHING. Peruse the following genres: psychedelic, classical, soundtracks, jazz, hip-hop, samples, avant-garde, funk. Then place a copy of L'Enfant Assassin des Mouches in each section. Domestic version of Vannier CD includes two bonus tracks and a bonus video of live footage taken from an on-set performance during an Yves Saint Lauren fashion show in 1971!"

Title:	Paint a Lady
Label:	B-MUSIC

Catalog #:	BMS 002CD

Domestic US version (previously issued by Finders Keepers in the UK). Slipcase packaging, with a pull-quote from Wendyt Flower! "Susan Christie was a Philly-based sophomore folk singer who had one novelty hit for a major label and never quite recovered...and afterwards, her psychedelic take on country standards and hand crafted tales of inner-city solitude that was backed by a break heavy folk-funk rhythm section was never accepted as a commercial viability by record company big-wigs: they obviously couldn't quite muster their 'Nostradamus' sensibilities to foresee what future hip-hop producers and DJs would be feeding into digital music-machines 30 years down the line! Luckily three-fifths of a handful (literally three!) privately pressed vanity copies were manufactured in early 1970, one of which became the source material for this B-Music release, nesting in the Finders Keepers' ever-expanding library of obscure, obtuse, obsolete and obsessive vintage music from the '60s and '70s. The uber-legend John Hill (who penned the mind-blowing acid rock floor-filler 'Love Love Love Love Love' for Wool) produced this release: which features 8 tracks including a twelve minute drugsploitation epic called 'Yesterday - Where's My Mind,' featuring the enigmatic Susan flipping vocal styles between Janis Joplin and Margo Guryan (who was in fact a close friend of Susan's at the time of recording......)"
